VINEYARD & WINERY COMBOS A vineyard is often characterized by its terroir, a French term that refers to how a particular region’s climate, soils and terrain affect the taste of the wine. Texas land serves as a perfect location for growing wine grapes – the intense Texas sun by day combined with cooler nights give the grapes a wide variety of flavor, ideal for wine. These grape-bearing vine plantations all grow different varieties of grapes as well as produce their own brands of wine in their own winery.
